OPERATION
Before first use
• Carefully remove all packaging materials and retain for future use.
• hold the handle (7) with one hand and pull the power cord (8) from the cord storage
(9) with the other hand.
• Clean the outside of the iron with a damp cloth and a mild detergent.
• Place the iron on a flat and heat-resistant surface.
noTEs:
• When using the iron for the first time, we recommend testing it on a spare piece of
fabric to ensure the soleplate (16) and water tank (15) are completely clean.
• The iron may produce an odor and give off smoke when switched on for the first
time, as residues from the production process are eliminated. This is normal and
does not indicate a defect or hazard.
• The iron may spit or sputter during the first few uses with tap water. This happens
as the steam chamber becomes conditioned. This will stop after a few uses.
